Chapter 509 - 508: Screwed Over by My Own Kid
"Hiss..."
Pang Daheng nearly had a heart attack. This little brat is trying to screw me over, five grand? That’s already with a 20% discount.
"Alright, since Dad’s not saying anything, that means he agrees. Chen, we have a deal, five grand per square meter." Pang Haibo extended his hand, intending to shake hands amicably with Chen Tianlong.
"Haibo, this...."
"Son, if I agree, will you then focus on your studies and be well-behaved?" Pang Daheng cared deeply for his son. If it truly made him happy, perhaps it wasn’t such a big deal.
After all, all the money he earned was intended to be handed over to his son someday. Spending some of it a bit earlier was no big deal.
Besides, if Chen Tianlong truly became his son’s mentor or friend, the future would be limitless. The man was a rising young entrepreneur; if Chen Tianlong imparted some experience, wouldn’t that send the company soaring?
"Yes, I promise, as long as you agree with Chen for five grand per square meter, I’ll listen to you and Mom from now on and study diligently." Pang Haibo was really trying his best to win Chen Tianlong’s favor.
"Alright, it’s a deal, five grand it is." Though Pang Daheng’s heart was bleeding, he found some peace of mind.
After discussing a few issues regarding the property transfer, Chen Tianlong was led into a room by Pang Haibo, who then spread his feet apart, got into a horse stance, and excitedly said, "Chen, do you think my horse stance is okay?"
Chen Tianlong was momentarily stunned, then walked over and lightly kicked Pang Haibo’s feet, feeling that this guy had potential, as he didn’t move at all.
"Not bad, not bad, a promising talent!" Chen Tianlong praised.
"Chen, really? Am I truly a promising talent?" Pang Haibo was elated, feeling as if he was about to fly with the compliment.
"Yes, really." Chen Tianlong nodded with a smile.
"Then could you teach me a couple of moves so I can defend myself if classmates bully me?" Pang Haibo got to the point.
Chen Tianlong was a bit embarrassed; he realized that it was mainly for showing off. But since Pang Haibo had spoken well on his behalf earlier, saving him several billion with a single word, he felt he should repay the favor.
"Alright, I’ll teach you three moves, but they’re only for building strength and promoting good while eliminating evil, not for harming others at will." Chen Tianlong reminded him, worried that these kids might lack self-control and could hurt someone severely, which would result in crime, leading to disaster.
This would mean ruining the country’s future leaders and trampling on the nation’s flowers.
"Absolutely, I promise. I won’t fight recklessly, only to protect myself from getting hurt by bad people." Pang Haibo pledged with assurance.
Chen Tianlong let out a wry smile. One could only trust spoken words to some extent since unexpected incidents frequently occurred, but he could only do his best.
"Today, I’ll teach you a grappling technique for use when you encounter a thug. First, disarm him to minimize any threat to your life. Then, I’ll teach you a set of Military Boxing, and lastly, a back throw."
As Chen Tianlong spoke, he demonstrated.
The two spent nearly three hours practicing in the house until after eleven in the evening, and then Chen Tianlong finally left the Pang Household.
The company was at last gradually expanding. They were preparing to relocate to a new building after the New Year, and various renovations had begun. The one thing giving Chen Tianlong a headache was the company’s talent pool.
There were no good universities in South Sea City, so attracting talent would be best achieved by recruiting some trainable college students. The most renowned university was undoubtedly Capital City University.
Therefore, Chen Tianlong planned to visit Capital City University after the New Year to recruit some fresh graduates and incidentally meet with Li Bingshuang.
After the holiday, Wu Mengting returned home to help her father, while Chen Tianlong stayed busy at the company as the New Year approached day by day.
It was then that a call unexpectedly came in. Chen Tianlong glanced at it—it was from his homeroom teacher, Shen Yan.
Could Shen Yan have known that he scored in the top five in exams and was proactively reminding him to receive his prize?
Chen Tianlong mused to himself.
"Chen Tianlong, come over here for a bit. I have something to discuss with you." Shen Yan did not specify what it was, seemingly uncomfortable discussing it over the phone. Chen Tianlong straightforwardly agreed.
Anyway, he planned to collect his prize. After the New Year, if Shen Yan claimed it to be void, it would be a joke.
Though Chen Tianlong wasn’t missing a kiss, it was a bet made with the teacher before getting engaged to Wu Mengting. Having won, retrieving the prize shouldn’t be an issue, should it?
Chen Tianlong drove swiftly and arrived at Shen Yan’s room in just over ten minutes.
After knocking a few times, he heard the sound of high heels clicking. It was Shen Yan who was coming to open the door.
Sure enough, when the door opened, Shen Yan appeared before him, but it wasn’t the beautiful scenery Chen Tianlong usually saw when he visited.
It was, after all, winter. Although winters in the south weren’t cold, you still needed to wear an overcoat.
Chen Tianlong strained to take a glance at the front of Shen Yan. But unfortunately, it was blocked by the coat’s zipper. All he could see was the high reach at the front without any beautiful view.
Shen Yan fully noticed Chen Tianlong’s behavior. This guy would always glance at certain crucial areas on her body every time they met, and given his animated expression, how could she not realize?
Well, they were both young and somewhat understood each other’s mindsets.
"No use looking, it’s hidden inside." Shen Yan said with a mock stern glance at Chen Tianlong.
She was indeed quite bold, and what Chen Tianlong didn’t know was that only in front of him would Shen Yan be so candid, speaking such flirtatious words.
"Hehe, then how can I see it?"
Seeing Shen Yan joking with him, Chen Tianlong played along, teasing her back a little. After all, he was here to claim his prize. Creating some flirtatious atmosphere wouldn’t hurt; otherwise, he might not know how to proceed later.
"Oh, that depends on your abilities then."
Seeing Chen Tianlong’s playful expression, Shen Yan was sure he was trying to tease her.
She had been out in society for a few years; although they were of a similar age, she couldn’t let Chen Tianlong tease her. She should be the one teasing others.
"Haha, are you sure I don’t have such abilities?" Chen Tianlong replied with a mischievous smile.
"Hmph, never serious, if you have any skills, go ahead and show me." Shen Yan said indifferently, as she walked inside, her hips swaying from side to side, looking very enticing in her high heels.
Chen Tianlong casually glanced at her, feeling a bit excited.
This Shen Yan really gave him a feeling he couldn’t quite describe.
He admitted, initially he was captivated by her beauty, but gradually, Chen Tianlong felt there was something mysterious about Shen Yan, as if she had many untold secrets.
Upon hearing this, Chen Tianlong thought about playing a little prank. Since she said he had no skills, he would let her see the truth herself.
With a swift movement, he appeared in front of Shen Yan. Before she could react, Chen Tianlong quickly unzipped her coat with a "swoosh."
However, at the next moment, Chen Tianlong was stunned, almost getting a nosebleed.
